Beautiful design. Very comfortable. Awesome sound. A number of things attracted my attention about these headphones. Initially their beautiful appearance. Great on-line reviews from the audiophile market. I have a high-end sound system and turntable. Vinyl is my preferred medium. What caught my attention was 2 things. First the fact that the drivers are beryllium. If you do your research, you will learn about this rare & expensive hard metal and the acoustic benefits of beryllium for audio. Secondly, the wood outer cups. The design is basically like a quality loudspeaker cabinet and drivers for your private listening. I also like the open design vs. a closed design headphone which make them sound more like open loudspeakers. You won’t be disappointed in any way with these headphones. Delivery was quick. Quality impeccable with the hard-case for storage.

I have several terrific headphones many of which are planar magnetic, closed & open back that up until now gave me just what i was looking for. Along comes the KLH Ultimate One which has exceeded all that i could ever ask for in a headphone. Looks, comfort, & quality. Oh yes, sound which is most important. That’s where this headphone really shines. High end, mids, & low end produce a smooth rich sound that is very exciting. The richness comes through in all types of music from classical to jazz to rock. It’s the only headphone that I’ve been listening to since I got it in December. I’m thinking that the 50 mm beryllium driver is making a major difference in the sound. Real leather & ebony wood cups round out what I believe is the best value out there period…………………………….

Unlike most other reviews, mine is on the negative side. Let’s start off with the appearance. These would be very good-looking headphones, however the ebony wood on both of my ear cups are very light-colored on the top quarter portion of both ear cups. I’m not sure how it got through quality control. The braided cable is also sightly damaged, and one of the ear pads appears to be permanently squished a little due to the packaging. The sound of the headphones themselves are also pretty bad. I’m coming from the Fidelio X2HR. The treble on the Ultimate One is very ear-pearcing. I have to turn my volume down lower compared to my X2HR, otherwise the Ultimate One will hurt my ears. I also seem to get rattle in the right ear cup on punchy bass sounds. I’m not sure if my whole item is just defective or what, but there are too many problems for a $250+ headphone. I’m going to return this one for another to see if it gets any better.UPDATE:The replacement unit that I got was a bit better, but still not worth the $240+tax. It still had issues with the ebony wood coloration. The top quarter portion of both cups were still very light-colored. Which completely ruined the look of the headphone. Therefore, QC doesn’t care if the cups are fully dark-colored wood. The replacement headphones didn’t have bass rattle, which was a plus. However, the treble was still very sharp, and the bass was too overwhelming. I’m returning my replacement as well. I’m going to get a hifiman sundara instead.
